Summary

"A Crooked Tree" by Una Mannion is a gripping coming-of-age story set in the 1980s in suburban Pennsylvania. It follows 15-year-old Libby and her siblings after their mother leaves her younger sister, Ellen, on the side of the road in a fit of anger. This impulsive act sets off a chain of events that unravel the family's fragile stability and force the siblings to navigate a world of secrets, danger, and growing up too fast.
